Lot 45: A Rustic Pine Utility Stool with Heart-Shaped Cutout

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £1

Buyer's Premium:

A handmade rustic utility stool of slab construction, fashioned from pine. The rectangular seat features a central heart-shaped cutout serving as a hand-hold. The stool is supported by two solid slab-end legs, each featuring a V-shaped cutout at the base to form feet. These legs are connected by a single horizontal stretcher for structural stability. The wood displays a rough-hewn texture with visible grain and has acquired a grey, weathered patina. The construction is characteristic of British folk furniture, utilizing simple joinery. No maker’s marks, stamps, or inscriptions are present.


Condition report:

The item is in a heavily weathered condition. There is notable green staining on the seat and one leg, consistent with lichen or algae growth from exposure to moisture. The wood exhibits surface abrasions, minor shrinkage splits, and rounding to the edges commensurate with age and utilitarian use.
